At Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada, we stand alongside both adults and children in guardianship proceedings, ensuring every proposed protected person has a dedicated attorney when it matters most. But this critical work doesn’t happen alone—our impact depends on pro bono volunteers who step forward to be a powerful force for good. By volunteering, you help protect the rights, dignity, and voice of some of the most vulnerable members of our community. In return, we offer mentorship, training, and ongoing guidance every step of the way.
